How many days off work do you get a year?
- Thread starter Burnsy2023
- Start date
At my last job I worked 14 of a 28 day cycle. My rota was 4 nights, 4 off, 3 days, 3 nights, 4 off, 4 days, 6 off. It was 12 hour shifts, both day and night, and the shift rota took nothing in to consideration. I worked Christmas Eve nights, I worked New Year's eve nights, made no difference.
As nice as the free time was, it was usually on weekdays when everyone else was working. It sucked. Never again.

Contractor so the past two years it's been about 10-12 days off depending on xmas which is totally my own choice. However next year I'm taking about a months worth depending on work as I'd like a 2 week summer hol.
As an aside, i now hate Bank holidays as my office closes so I cram an extra days worth of work into the other 4 just to keep my hours up.

At my company, contractors get given remote VPN access, so there is no reason why a contractor has to forfeit working on a public holiday when the rest of the employees are not at work.

Only 20 days a year here plus p/h. However, any untaken holiday will continue to accrue in the next year. Im one of those sad people that doesnt take much time off. Currently up to 37 days and i have hit my 10 year long service this month, so get another 12 weeks added on. Another 6 weeks added again for every 5 more years of long service.
All i have to do now is figure out how and when im going to use them! I did joke with the boss that starting from the 1st Jan 2017 i could potentially only have to work every other week for the whole of 2017. Not sure that's going to get approved.

Started with 31, no bank holidays (work for US company). Currently on 35 per year. Extra 4 days because of 10 years of service (5 years of service = 2 extra days)
25 + BH but 3 days need to be used for Xmas unless I chose to work them from home

My company's answers to all HR issues is: statutory minimum. So I get 20 days plus BH.

I get 336 hours per year but I need to use those hours to take of any BH we don't work. Also work a rota so on every 3rd Saturday which means more hours to take that week off.
